Lord of All People: My Undead Skeletons Billions

Chapter 178 Metal Puppet Army! Close Combat!

The victory of this war greatly affected the survival of the goblin race. It was impossible for them to give up the strategy of using artillery bombardment for just a few thousand goblins, especially surrendered and captured goblins.

What's more, the Undead Army is quite powerful. If we don't go all out and open fire, it will be difficult to defeat them.

At the beginning, the undead had never thought of rescuing the goblins in the mine. After all, it was too difficult, and there were many restrictions, so many methods or weapons had no room to be used.

After discussion between McKay and the goblin army, they gave up the rescue plan.

After all, after the mine was captured, their source of information was completely cut off, and they didn't know whether there were still living goblins in the mine, or whether the goblins had been transformed by the undead.

So, just assume that all the goblins in the mine were killed by the undead, or even transformed into undead.

This way, the battle plan becomes much simpler!
The goblin army originally wanted to use artillery fire to collapse all the passages in the mine while the undead were not noticed, so as to prevent the undead from rushing out of the mine.

Afterwards, they increased the number of artillery shells to blow up the entire mine, burying the undead in the mine alive, making Mine No. 13 a grave for tens of thousands of undead armies.

But their whereabouts were exposed in advance and discovered by the Undead Bone Dragon. They had to carry out bombing in advance before the deployment was completed!
The entire mine was filled with blazing flames and roaring roars. While the artillery fire was rising into the sky, the undead were suppressed and the goblin army quickly approached the mine.

"Follow me out!"

The Death Knight roared loudly and fired a shot to smash the rocks in front of him. He cut a passage and led many undead out of the mine.

The undead in the mine felt the mountain shaking violently, and quickly rushed out from various passages and left the mining area.

Some of the undead took advantage of the situation and hid in underground tunnels. Even if the mountain collapsed due to the bombing, the undead could follow the tunnels into the underground to avoid being buried alive.

Because the whereabouts of the goblin army were discovered, they could only attack one side of the mountain in a hurry. The other three sides of the mine were still safe for the time being. A large number of undead left the mine through the safe passage and began to surround the goblin army from the left and right sides.

hoo hoo hoo!
Roars were heard again in the sky as several undead bone dragons returned again, releasing powerful magical energy in the sky and continuously attacking the goblin army. This restricted the actions of the goblin army to a certain extent and also caused considerable casualties to the goblins.

Boom boom boom!
The goblin artillery fire continued, even more fiercely than before, constantly bombarding the attacking undead.

Although the power of this round of artillery fire was more intense than before and caused some casualties to the undead, the number of undead was too great.

Countless undead poured out of the mine and approached the position of the goblin army from all directions. Even under artillery attack, their speed did not slow down at all.

Especially those undead who had been killed by a bomb once, they were even more fearless and rushed forward madly.

Soon, the two armies were less than 300 meters apart.

"General, there's something strange about these undead!"

"They look very weak, but they suffered very few casualties after being attacked by the magic cannon!"

The goblin, who had been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, changed his expression drastically.

You have to know that the goblin army's previous rounds of artillery fire involved at least a thousand shells of various types, and the power of each shell was enough to kill creatures in the Black Iron Realm, while creatures in the Ordinary Realm had no chance of survival under the bombardment of artillery fire.

Such intensive artillery bombardment was enough to cause tens of thousands of casualties and defeat an army of 100,000 people.

This is also the reason why the goblins are confident that they can defeat the enemy, so they choose to attack the mine from the front instead of attacking from the underground passage.

Although there were many casualties among the undead in the mine, the death toll was only about 2,000 to 3,000. On average, one shell only killed two or three undead.

How can this be?

What's more, those undead who were clearly blown to pieces and had no remains left, stood up again unharmed after a while, continued to charge at the goblin army, and even took the initiative to rush to the front to resist the artillery attacks of the Iron Legion.

This scene really caught the goblin army off guard and was beyond their expectations.

Due to a miscalculation of the strength of the undead army, the distance between the undead and the goblins was less than 300 meters not long after the battle began.

At such a close distance, a few sprints will appear before your eyes.

Hand-to-hand combat is not the goblins' best fighting style, even though they are all wearing sophisticated armor.

Moreover, once a close combat occurs, the goblins will lose their greatest advantage and can rely on massive artillery fire to attack the enemy, while the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties.

"Puppet army, everyone attack, stop the undead from approaching!"

General McKay immediately gave the order.

Suddenly, thousands of tall metal puppets crossed the line and came to the front of the goblin army, holding a heavy shield in one hand and a long sword in the other, dressed like shield and swordsmen.

The colors of these metal puppets are different from those of the armored warriors. Some are bronze, while others are silver.

But whether in size, defense, or strength, they far exceed the armored warriors.

The only thing in common is that each metal puppet has some runes carved on it.

Among the goblins, they also have unique names, Ironclad Warriors, Bronze Armored Warriors and Silver Armored Warriors.

Armored warriors are just the lowest level puppets, usually doing simple jobs such as mining, transporting, etc.

As for the bronze-armored warriors and silver-armored warriors, they are equipped with powerful equipment, and their equipment is as well-equipped as that of the goblin soldiers.

The strength of these bronze-armored and silver-armored warriors is also much stronger than that of the goblins.

Each bronze-armored warrior puppet is at a realm equivalent to an ordinary three-star one. With their metal-armored bodies and equipment made by the goblins, they can fight even against creatures at the Black Iron realm. There are two thousand of them, forming an elite army.

As for the silver-armored warrior puppets, they are all at the level of Black Iron Two Stars. If they go all out, their combat power can even be comparable to that of Black Iron Three Stars.

But the number of silver-armored warriors was slightly smaller, only two hundred.

Boom boom!

The puppet army stood in the front, holding huge shields and forming a solid wall of iron with their metal bodies.

Bang bang bang!
Many undead skeleton spearmen rushed forward, but were blocked by the shield wall formed by the puppet army. They were also attacked by the puppet army's swords and shot by the goblin army's magic guns.

Clang clang!
The bodies of the undead were pierced by the magic guns, and their bones were shattered all over the ground, but the undead's offensive did not decrease at all, and it was even more and more fierce, just like the artillery fire of the goblins!
